Fire on the terrace of Barcelona’s Pulitzer hotel: a worker treated for smoke inhalation
A fire on the terrace of the Pulitzer hotel disrupted the morning in central Barcelona. The column of smoke, visible from several points near plaça Catalunya, caused alarm in an area with large numbers of people.
The fire started on the rooftop of the building, prompting a swift response from the Bomberos de Barcelona. Two crews managed to bring the flames under control within minutes, preventing them from spreading to other parts of the hotel or neighbouring buildings.
As a result of the smoke, one worker had to be treated by emergency services. No further injuries have been reported, although the situation caused tense moments for those in the area.
The cause of the fire has not yet been determined. The speed of the response was crucial in containing the incident in a particularly sensitive part of the city centre.
The hotel Pulitzer is known for its terrace and strategic location, which increases the visibility of any incident that occurs on its premises.
This type of incident has a direct impact on daily life in the centre. In areas with a high density of pedestrians, a rapid response from emergency services is key to preventing greater risks and maintaining safety in busy spaces.
